Whitman Lindstrom is a Los Angeles-based artist whose style and sensibilities reflect a conscious effort to blend the cultural influences of the times with a classical and contemporary artistic style. His work often embodies a social narrative that delights in contradiction and juxtaposition. While many of his paintings critique the contemporary human condition, he refuses to collapse into images of cynicism and despair. Even in his darkest, most biting depictions, he conveys a brightness of soul and the essence of humanity.
